Analysis

The Rwanda Improved Cook Stoves programme is a long-running Gold Standard project (crediting period 2013–2023) with a confirmed additionality test and a quantified 5% leakage deduction, but it is undermined by an unusually large volume of material findings and corrective actions spanning data inconsistencies, missing calibration records, and reporting errors across multiple CPAs. The verified emission reductions (342,643 tCO₂e) exceed the claimed figure (293,076 tCO₂e), which is conservative, yet the project-specific baseline, absence of a stated buffer pool, and low extraction confidence in the underlying documents limit confidence in the overall credit quality.

  • Integrity label (ICVCM CCP)

    Methodology not approved by ICVCMAMS-II.G

    The Integrity Council assessed this methodology as not meeting the Core Carbon Principles.

  • Removal or reduction

    Emission reduction or avoidance

    Prevents or reduces emissions — fits contribution claims, not SBTi neutralisation.

  • Paris Agreement (Article 6)

    Not published

    This registry does not publish Article 6 authorizations.

Information only, from public sources. Claim rules (CORSIA, SBTi, EU rules on green claims) change: check them before making a public claim. Since 27 September 2026, EU consumer rules do not allow “climate neutral” product claims based on offsets.
